Alba Liseth

Alba is 37 years old. She is a cheerful and hard-working person, who works selling chicken, seafood, tostadas, soft drinks and other products. She lives with her husband and three children, who are in school. Alba is responsible with all of her obligations, and in the market where she sells her products, she is very sought-after by people since she always has fresh seafood and chicken. Alba is requesting a loan from INTEGRAL so that she can buy a greater quantity of seafood, such as fish, shellfish, and fresh and dried shrimp. She will also buy "menudos" or chicken innards, the name that is given to the heart, sweetbreads, livers and other parts, which people use to make soups. Thanks to this help which INTEGRAL is providing to her, Alba will be able to improve her business and increase her daily earnings.
